....but on another couple of platforms where I’ve noticed not just a few, quite a lot of other eBay sellers, or ex-eBay sellers. Quite a number too, now have their own websites, which no doubt they are directing traffic to generally, but especially after the first sale.
And, yes, both platforms are much more seller and buyer friendly and efficient and cheaper by at least half. Further, they are reasonably quickly catching up to eBay buyer patronage and accordingly, sales for sellers.
Just another of my recent observations that make me wonder just how closely eBay is watching it’s own back door and whether they realise the very urgent and pressing need for some policy revision and in some cases deletion.
The exodus isn’t really on yet, and I don’t believe eBay thinks it will ever happen, but I do foresee it as other "“Good” platforms grow in popularity. The rouse won’t just come in the direction of their back door either. There’s a few platforms building nicely now, over the hump, so it will come from all sides and it won’t be easy to stop the accompanying bleed.
I’ve always enjoyed eBay, but it’s so different, common sense wise, to say 10-15 years ago that today it’s a watchful, mindful and delicate ‘tippy toe’ around the place in order to stay both ‘clean’ and ‘unscammed.’
Just my meandering thoughts today as I try to sort a couple of issues that shouldn’t exist 🙂
